Description:
Extremely faint - at least to my little Newtonian. Elongated by 1:4 in the E-W directions. It has a somewhat heavy position, and to tell the truth, I've found the galaxy after a longer search. I can detect the GX only with averted vision most of the time. Its core is only a little bit brighter than its surface, and has a shape of an almond. Sometimes its Southern half appears brighter than the Northern.
